Waco-based progressive metal project Chris White explores intricate, thoughtful heavy music from Central Texas with a focus on melodic complexity and technical composition. Part of a quietly active Lone Star prog scene.
Alabama death metal act Christ deal in blunt, straightforward brutality from the American South, a region with its own tradition of extreme music running underneath the mainstream. Heavy and unadorned.
Scranton, Pennsylvania sludge act Christ Chopper drag their heaviness through the working-class industrial wasteland of northeastern Pennsylvania. Thick, slow, and corrosive.
New York black metal act Christ Deception operate in the raw, adversarial tradition of the American underground, keeping their sound stripped of anything that might compromise its hostility. Bleak and confrontational.
Los Angeles raw black metal act Christ Desecration traffic in primitive, lo-fi blasphemy in the Southern California underground tradition. Nothing clean, nothing polished, nothing forgiving.
Relentless Black Metal out of Texas.
Indiana thrash act Christ in Flesh draw from the aggressive, confrontational end of the genre, delivering blunt metal with religious provocation baked into the name itself. Old-school and unsubtle.
New Orleans' Christ Inversion fold industrial noise and sludge heaviness into their black metal framework, producing something as murky and corrosive as the city they call home. Genuinely strange and unsettling.
San Diego crossover thrash act Christ Killer hit at the intersection of punk speed and thrash aggression, making short and vicious work of their material. Southern California underground in full attack mode.
